What do condo HOA's really pay for? 

Condo HOA Dues

What am I paying for?  What do I get?

The most common reaction from many condo buyers is their reluctance towards paying condo fees.  The concept of a condo fee is often misinterpreted and misunderstood.  In fact, condo fee has a great deal to do with the major benefits of living in a condominium.  The condo fee/maintenance fee may sound like an extra monthly burden to some: but this is not necessarily true if you count the many benefits that you receive in return.

 Here is an example of potential savings for a condo that I currently have listed at The View 600 Admiral Blvd (#608) in Kansas City.  Monthy HOA's on this property are $492 a month.  This property has a 21 year full tax abatement remaining. 

Taxes:  Fully abated for the next 21 years, currently only $362 per year

Insurance: Contents only and Liability for unit, not building; about $200 per year

Fully Electric: No gas bill, estimated savings of nearly $200 a month

No Gym Fee: Savings of about $40 a month

No Yard Maintenance: Savings of $50 a month

No Security Fee: Savings of about $35 a month

Lower Electric Bills: Averages about $120 a month

HOA dues pay for trash, water, cleaning of halls and common areas, door men, maintenance on pools, common areas, etc, and all amenities.

Taxes:   $3500.00 a year

Gas: $2400.00 a year

Water:      $1200.00 a year

Security: $480.00  a year

Gym Membership: $480.00 a year

Yard Maintenance: $600.00 a year
